Explore "Mars is my Destination" by Frank Belknap Long on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We were not the only passengers in the eight-cabined forward section / of the big sky ship which had been assigned to us. But it had taken us / almost a week to get acquainted. To get really acquainted, that is, so / that we could relax and feel at ease and really enjoy one another's / company.
We were sitting in lounge chairs on the long promenade deck that ran / parallel with all eight of the cabins, staring out through translucent / crystal at a wide waste of stars.
